That's the MSM for you.

[RexBeach]

Russell Means is one strange dude.

[LiteKeeper]

So what else is new?

[WildcatClan]

If you read the thread based on this bogus report you will find it also proves you can get some inane knee-jerk reactions from those willing to lap up the MSM’s BS.

“Meanwhile, the delegation has delivered copies of the letter to the embassies of Bolivia, Venezuela, Chile and South Africa. “We’re asking for recognition,” Means said, adding that Ireland and East Timor are “very interested” in the declaration.”

He ought to contact Cuba and N. Korea as well for recognition. Perhaps Hamas could send an official delegation and establish an embassy and spread the concept of Sharia Law among Mean’s Lakota followers.

[In veno, veritas]

To be fair, it should be noted that Fox News reported the same story. Although we can debate if they are MSM or not.

I figured he died from an overdose of peyote long time ago.

[Mogollon]

This why Rush calls them the ‘drive-by media’. Perfect description.

FREE LEONARD PELTIER!

[SpringheelJack]

Yeah, I couldn’t believe how fast this story flew around. Anyone who’s heard of Russell Means knows that he’s just a grandstander with about as many supporters as he can fit in his van. Heck, if all he has is a bike that just might be enough.....

[Pyro7480]

Surely, you jest. ;-)

[wolfcreek]

Nope! he was framed.

[dangus]

PELT LEONARD FREEPER!!!

[philled]

I live in the Dakotas and listen to local radio all day. Didn't hear this story mentioned. I read the local fishwrap and didn't notice it. I had to do a search of their website to find it. My reaction was: "Huh, I guess Russell Means isn't dead yet. Oh, well."

[philled]

Care to expound?

[El Gato]

MSM Exaggerates lies about American Indians Claims of Seceding From USA

Now it's correct.

[BallyBill]

So, I reckon them savages we bushwhacked last night might really NOT have know what we were talking about.

Oops!

[wolfcreek]

“Care to expound?”

As I see it, Gov. interference in a semi-autonimous nation. Hires and provides weapons to the GOONs to mess with the tribe. It was said as many 300 died violent and unexplained death at Pine Ridge.A group of 17 people , 6 of who were men, went to a property where the resident were frighten of the GOONs. 2 FBI agents were killed and they needed a scapegoat.

Think Waco!
